Paint the chrome
Hello all. I found a paint shop that will paint the trim chrome on my headlights, the door handles and the gas cap.

He said $200.00. Obviously that has a lot to do with prep work.


IS THIS REASONABLE?

pasti dip is the way to go - cheap, and reversible.




Plus, with plasti-dip and glossifier you can even protect the headlight glass, too, for less than clear bra and other solutions cost.
